I wish you the best of luck.
I decided to source the grain first, then buy the mill.
I could not find clean food-grade grain without buying 100 kg lots.
Everything else was either mixed animal feed (which I did not want)
or, it was kakked up with planting fungicide, etc.

It was pretty cheap and we were passing through the place, so I thought it was worth a go!
there's a couple of shops that sell wheat that I'll try, its £19 for 25kg bags , so it'll be playing at milling, but it should be interesting.

A slightly late father's Day present. An OG utility kilt. Work is not ready to see me in my sarong yet but they should be able to handle the kilt

Picked up a couple of walking sticks I was having turned for me. One in Padauk and one in Ash. The Padauk one cost me £27 and the Ash £15, although I gave him some extra as
he only charges for materials and just makes things as a hobby.

Current sitting at 39" long with the bottom 4" straight so I can work out the final length

Got myself a few Toys for my birthday

My first genuine Buck 110. I liked the looks of the lightweight. Plus easy to keep clean for food prep.

Not bad for out the box, I've since taken it to my Japanese water stones, makes that seem blunt. For 440C its great. A classic!

I got a £20 Nitehawk Military Army Patrol MOLLE Assault Pack Rucksack. I wanted a cheap, but decent quality molle backpack. This seems just the job. So far I'm very happy with it.

I also got a 2nd Gen Pathfinder Bushpot 1.8L

My camp chair died in June after long service and I needed to get a replacement for the moot. Shopping around and I saw that an equivilant replacement to my old one was going to be around £45.

Then I went to a bootfair yesterday and saw a guy selling this fishing chair . He had it marked up at £25 but I offered £20 and we struck a deal

Well happy when I checked out Ebay when I got home to find it going for £80 inc p&p.

Even more happy that it's a damn comfy chair.

Just got me one of them there "EasyHammock". Will be put to very good use at the Moot. First impressions are very favourable indeed. Packs smaller then the roll mat I used to use with my "DD". !!!

Not today (or very bushy), but last week at a village farm show, I picked up an NOS A&F Parkes, Wheel Brand, West Country shovel.

The identical one I inherited from my grandfather (which may or may not have gone missing from the ECLP clay works (now ECC) in whitest Cornwall sometime in the 1970s ;)), is looking a bit tired despite a recent new handle!

Should see me out. :)

Hate to think what steel it's made from but it now carries a sharp edge so we shall how it performs on the next fallow.

Side entry German navy sea sack. Massive bag which opens along an entire side so good for storage. I now have 6. 1 all my sleeping bags, 1 for a really big 10 man tent, 1 for my inflatable kayak, 2 for general outdoor kit storage, and 1 empty for throwing stuff into for impromptu outings [wet suits, body boards, snorkles, flipers, general large outdoor play things] They also have two straps so can be worn as a backpack, after a fashion as they have no shape and are bloomin' enormous.

Got my Siege Stove Titanium Cross members last week. They are really well made and stabilise the Ikea stove brilliantly - very happy. There was also a bonus of a small folding tin opener too!

(Just a shame I was charged £18 for customs/import/Royal Mail taxes [£10 for HMRC and £8 for Royal Mail:cussing::banghead2:]).

Got an EKA Swingblade as a birthdaygift from the kids. It is a seriously ugly knife, but it is the business - I havent used this example in the field, but used my friends swingblade.

I will happily leave my hooked gutting knife and my skinner at home....IMG_20180915_112327740.jpg

I received a Flexcut Chip Carving set today - three dinky little knives for carving letters into wood. I've already been playing with them on a piece of basswood I have lying around. With some more practice, I might even use them on a current 'present project'...
